it's just stuff. why do we have to label everything?

Do not strive, be still

In rhythm with the seasons

Nature's dance partner

Winter is coming

But my soul starts to blossom

Death provides living

Take a look at this post… 'The Piggy Pony Pantry-A Mixed textiles wall-hanging'.

The Piggy Pony Pantry-A Mixed textiles wall-hanging

 This small wall-hanging is a representation of one of my favourite places to be.  My little shed.  Better known as

"Explain" they said.

And so I tried.

The meaning lost within furrowed brows of misunderstanding.

So I showed them.

Outside.

Showed them the sky, pink with clouds.

Showed them that fiery orange orb that is the Sun.

And the sky was theirs alone.

Candy floss haze and golden glow.

"Did you ever see such beauty?"

Silence. Loudly mocking.

Cocktail party smiles carefully fixed.

Tainted vision cannot perceive the magic of a summer's night.

What profit to be made from splendour?

And that great star slipped earthwards;

A bow to end the Solstice show.

Lights dimmed in preparation for the final player;

Soft shadows kneel to mark their entrance,

As darkness sweeps across the stage;

Resplendent in their summer cloak of darkest blues.

Cannot yet twinkle little star;

Await your cue.

And yet I cannot make them see any more than 'night' and 'day'

And it makes me cry.

Of course, my burning desire to get outside in the garden and actually do gardening coincides with the hottest weekend of the year so far. 🙈

Ready to sleep, I reflect on my day... been to work, visited my ponies, spent time with the piggies, watched RuPaul's Drag Race and my cat is currently sitting atop me, brumbling. Jeez, I cannot wait to see what my subconscious does with that lot.

not gonna lie, it is beyond fucking annoying that i have stated time and time again that i hate my previous project so much that i changed my name and wiped it all from the internet yet you literal gremlins have seen fit to hunt it down at all costs and even upload it all (incorrectly, i might add) to my wikipedia page that is literally for a different project. i don’t give a fuck if you like those old ass songs, keep it to yourself and stop blasting them all around the internet. are my soundcloud demos not enough? do you need MORE from me? how many times do i have to express that i don’t want to be associated with that project. ethel cain started with bruises. respect that.

For my husband

Time alone can grant me leave to cut this putrid cord

Whose stench now overwhelms me with your dull and spiteful words.

And your parody of friendliness,

A thinly veiled sham.

Thank God I found my reason

And replaced you with a man.
